If indeed the addresses in the error message are all zeros, then I would be very suspicious about one of my RAM sticks being defective. That sort of message can either indicate that there is a conflict with another program trying to acess the same RAM address at the same time as VS; OR it can indicate that the address simply can't be accessed by the program because it is defective. And if the address is absolute zero, this tends to imply (at least to me!) that VS simply can't address the RAM stick at all.
Do a Google search for a free RAM test program. Microsoft has a free one, though I don't have the URL for it, I am sorry...
Otherwise, as a work around, you would have to remove one stick of RAM, and run VS for a while and see if the problem recurs. If it does not, you could remove that stick and replace it with the other one. If the problem recurs with that stick, then that would appear to be your culprit. The good news is that RAM is pretty cheap these days.
